2024 California Mid-Season Crop Update
The Commission typically releases a crop update with an estimated crop size and timing based on grower survey results. There are times when the grower and handler survey results are not aligned closely enough for CAC to publish one number. This is the case in 2024 and therefore CAC is providing the results of both the handler and grower mid-season crop updates.
Rely® 280 Herbicide Available for Use in California Avocado Groves
The California Department of Pesticide Regulation has approved the herbicide Rely® 280 (glufosinate-ammonium) for use in avocado groves in California. Rely® 280 is a post-emergence broad-spectrum herbicide for use against broadleaf and grassy weeds. Glufosinate-ammonium is an excellent alternative to glyphosate, especially for those weeds that have developed glyphosate resistance.
